Jewelry rule causes yelling

[Ignats75]

You keep time. Stop the clock when I blow my whistle and start it when I chop. That's your job. Mine is to officiate the game. Never the twain shall meet. I'm not sure the coaches would view you any differently than a fan screaming from the stands.

When I let the floor officials know of the uniform or other thing I notice, I wait until a dead ball or a reporting occurs. If that player is subbed for, I let the book know that their coach needs to let that player know of their jersey. I wish I had access to the case book & rule book, unfortunately I do not.

Well, not to sound rude, but if it were my game after the first time I would ask you to refrain from such activity.

I'd offer to allow him more time to spend on crowd control.

An unsafe item (like metal hair pins) is one thing - I'm not sure I'm all about a scorer/timer noting that, but to each their own.

But noting an untucked shirt - simply out of line. I wouldn't appreciate it. In fact, I'd likely tell you where to put your observation. And I'd guess most officials telling you they appreciate your noting something like that are simply being nice/tolerant.

I think it was you that mentioned in another thread that you keep a copy of the duties of the scorer and timer at the table. I'd stick to those duties.

chseagle, I've gotta ask. Is there a reason why you do no become an official yourself? You seem to be starved for more responsibility/authority/power.

I would like to be a floor official, however I am unsure if my health will allow me.

Also right now, I do not have reliable transportation to attend training & meetings or assignments.

Yet you find a way to get to games and do crowd control and provide warnings of untucked jerseys. Interesting.

I'm able to do games at alma mater, cause of not being far away from my house. As I stated in an earlier post, I am training myself not to get so involved on events on the floor, and focusing more on what's right in front of me (scoreboard controls & scorebook).

I have only done the notifying about the untucked jerseys once or twice to the floor officials. Majority of the time, I'll let that team's scorebook know to notify the coach about that player's jersey.

Different people have differing opinons I appreciate that.

My opinion is it's not your job to do that either.
